Nose to mouth and marionette fillers work by replenishing lost volume and smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles in the lower face. The fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, and are injected precisely into the targeted areas to plump up the skin and lessen the appearance of nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines) and marionette lines (corners of mouth down to chin).

Results are visible immediately after the treatment, but some swelling and/or bruising may still be apparent for a couple of weeks. You’ll notice the full effects 2-3 weeks after the treatment.

Usually a single treatment is sufficient, but more pronounced lines may require another treatment session to obtain the desired results.

Results vary depending on which product is used and can vary from person to person depending on lifestyle, but typically Nose to Mouth and Marionette fillers last 6-9 months. Regular maintenance sessions can help to prolong the results.

At SkinHD, we are committed to achieving the best possible results, which is why we only use top-grade products renown for their safety and quality, like Juvederm, Teosyal and Belotero.

Nose to Mouth lines and marionette lines are very common and an inevitable sign of the natural ageing process, but they can appear more pronounced on some people due to lifestyle and genetics. While generally safe and effective for most individuals seeking facial rejuvenation, factors such as medical history, skin condition and expectations will be considered and discussed during your free consultation with a qualified practitioner to determine suitability. Unfortunately dermal fillers are not recommended during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.

For optimal results and potential swelling and/or bruising to subside, we’d recommend scheduling the treatment at least 2 weeks before any big event.
